Tomer’s Take: Snow continues in the Sierra this morning then drier this afternoon until the next storm system 1/24. This storm system then moves into UT/ID/MT/WY/CO/NM 1/24-1/26 with light to moderate snow accumulation. A warmer, drier period with high pressure builds over the Intermountain West 1/27-1/31.
My forecast update video:
Current Setup
Water vapor satellite shows the current storm system hitting the West Coast. It splits and becomes a southern track storm system.
The 2nd storm system in the Pacific becomes the 1/24-1/26 UT/WY/MT/ID/CO/NM area of low pressure.
Forecast Jet Stream
Trough with southern track storm system sliding through the Four Corners.
2nd storm system and trough moving through UT/ID/MT/WY/CO/NM.
High pressure ridging over the Intermountain Rockies. Subtropical jet reloads for early Februray.

Hi Chris,
Thank you so much for the daily updates!
Do you foresee the continuation of closed low syndrome during the next few weeks?
Hi Freddy, I think we’re stuck with the syndrome until at least 2/1. Then the pattern might shift. Chris
Chris-
You are a fabulous resource! However, for us skiers, storm cycle precip means if it’s not snow! Would greatly appreciate commentary and predictions on TEMPERATURE…many resorts (Bachelor, Palisades, Alta) showing rain/mist/fog in this cycle from what I can tell…so sub-par conditions. I’m new to OnTheSnow so I appreciate whatever guidance you can provide. Thx!
Thanks, Rich! I included forecast PNW rain/snow line in today’s update. Chris
